The nutcracker, Christmas Storybook
Landoll
Hardcover
(Little Landoll Books, March 15, 1999)
Herr Drosselmeyer, a wonderful toymaker, brought Clara a Christmas gift...a Nutcracker dressed like a soldier! It was her favorite, even though her brother, Fritz, told her it was ugly, and broke it. Herr Drosselmeyer told her it would be good as new by morning. She thought he was going to fix it, and got up at night to see what he was doing. What she found, instead, was a battle between the Mouse King and the Nutcracker. Get the book to find out what happens next! This cute book briefly tells the tale of the Nutcracker and would help small children to understand the play, as well.
